Momentum ftw - just try telling that to the idiots that crawl up hills and then stop when the wheels begin to spin!

I'm sure you encounter them mate. Even more annoying in a 40 tonne wagon? lol

I missed alot of the snow, so i made up for it today in my work van.. Hand braking ever corner, making my own path ways too.

that should make it easier to get up the hill as it doesnt have much torque so is therefore less likely to break traction and wheelspin :thumb:

Luckily working nights i haven't had anyone get in my way yet. I would consider pushing them up the hill if i had to lol

But you do have to give a 1.2 a fair bit of throttle to get it up a hill where as a big engine can do it on idle...

sod momentum, 4WD is where its at.

When I was taking my snow pics t'other day, a citilink van had just came slithering backwards down a hill (judging by the tracks on the road). Wish I could have seen the drivers face as I drove up said hill with no problems :d

Oh how I love this weather
